In a very little quiet village, lived an old man whose age was over 80 years old. He planting a durian treewhen a neighbour observed him. The neighbour asked the old man, “do you expect to eat durian from the tree? The durian  tree will take about eight years to bear fruit.”

      The old man rested on his spade and smiled. He said, “no, at my age i know i won’t.all  my life i have been enjoying durians, but never from the tree i have planted before, i wouldn’t have had durians if other men haven’t done what i am doing now. I am just trying to pay the other men who have planted durians for me. “ no wonder he looked so happy.  We would give first and can get something in return. We will not only get what we want, but we willl actually be really happy in the end, because we need to sow first before we can reap.
